Think it’s them and AOC making STP productsThe header on the top of the page of information sent, was Warren Distribution.
I just bought their $32 special (5qt/oil with an oil and air filter). I'll be running it in the VW and Hyundai (each being 2.0T). I believe the 5W-40 is a WD product as i've never seen AOC on any of the bottles. That's odd considering AOC is a Florida company. Nothing conclusive though. I've used it in the Hyundai before - no weird noises or vibrations. Ran just fine. Hope the same for the VW. Not running the 508 or 0W-20 anymore - just my choice as i know others really like it and its the correct spec. Like @TiGeo often states, "many of the old VW guard find it difficult to put 0W-20 in an EA888". It's taken almost a year with this Passat to come to this.
